An “ATS” cluster with street art, bars and Asian cuisine was opened in the telephone center building on Nekrasova Street

For the first time, the St. Petersburg media reported about the public space on Nekrasov Street in the summer of 2023: the commercial real estate agency KNRU told Kommersant about the creation of the cluster. In September 2024, one of the first events was held in the space's courtyard - the Friends of Merula party with a grill station, live music and DJ sets. The cluster also hosts other events: for example, screenings of films by Tarantino and von Donnersmarck.

By the beginning of October, the bar and gastronomic area on the first floor of the building, the former Nekrasovsky telephone exchange, began full operation at ATS. The remaining floors are not yet accessible to visitors: preparations are underway for the launch of new spaces.

You can get to the ATS from Nekrasova Street: you need to turn into the courtyard, at the entrance to which an old Volga and retro minibuses are parked. The space features a portrait of Viktor Tsoi, graffiti with Pavel Durov and the signature Freedom, as well as old telephone booths and art objects, including the Hand object by Alex Ko and a mural by Maxim Ima , a participant in exhibitions at the Russian Museum , on the square near the Manege. and in other spaces .

There are also works by contemporary artists inside the building: for example, works by Alex Ko and Stas Bags were exhibited on one of the floors . In attracting artists, the creators of the space were helped by gallery owner Kirill Zakazchikov, who became one of the residents of “ATS”: his project Debosh moved to Nekrasov from the Balagan gastromarket .

In addition to art objects, a table tennis table and outdoor furniture were installed in the courtyard, and an open terrace was installed on the roof of the two-story building next door. They plan to open a restaurant here later.
